I haven't written in awhile due to some busy busy days, but today I woke up knowing that I needed to write. Without purpose or direction, I've needed to just sit at the keyboard and go. There will probably be no rhyme or reason, but sometimes the best writing exercise is when you don't think, you don't plan, you don't even really look at the screen for typos. You just start going. I'm listening to "Give Me Sympathy" by Metric, truly great song on a great album by the pop-rock band from Canada. Definitely a pick up for anyone interested. Good background music for a nonsensical rant....
There are certain days when you are purely thankful. Thankful for what you have, and what you don't. I was having an amazing discussion the other day with my world famous sister Bird about privilege, and how that is the true currency of the world. Privilege not in the sense of anything material, but the privilege to be who you are and to be allowed to manifest that however it seems natural. She teaches yoga at a juvenile detention facility in Los Angeles for girls, and its started her on this amazing journey of understanding the idea of privilege and opportunity. Certain inmates at the facility are there by choice, but mostly by circumstance. And thats not to say they intentionally placed themselves in a position that was lose lose, but that they have ended up there almost as a step in their life's process, like they were meant to end up there. Be that a vague social commentary on the penitentiary system in this country, or maybe just a cop out for people that just plain bad, it's worth understanding and studying no less.
